I know a lot of you have done this and I also did it to my Model 4. But Now it's the Model III's turn. Used Samsung 1.44 drives and a fully pinned home made cable. Works great and can get 720k storage on each drive. If anyone decides to do this make sure one of the drives can be converted to use DS0. A lot of modern drives don't support this anymore. I know the TEAC FD-235HF can and that' what is being used in the Model 4. For either it may be desoldering a very small solder pad and apllying solder to the DS0 pad. One small side effect the computer is a little lighter! On a side note if anyone decides to do this you can use 1.44 floppies just make sure to cover the density select hole. Otherwise get verify errors after formattting.
